So, what do you get when you combine Mahna Mahna with a bit of the l33t? Well, you get this video. Brandon M. Dennis (and Oxhorn) have created a bunch of silliness with a bit of World of Warcraft. Yes, even if those internet acronyms make you crazy, you will enjoy this video. LOL! (A Hat Tip to scotis_man for telling us about this one.)

(A Hat Tip to Dianne for sending this to our inbox. [tag]Pen Island[/tag]. *falls over laughing* We have linked the ones that are still valid. Strangely…some aren’t valid anymore. What a surprise. Enjoy!)
[tag]The 10 Worst Website Names[/tag]
Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as others see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn’t give their [tag]domain names[/tag] enough consideration:
1. A site called ‘Who Represents’ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity: www.whorepresents.com.
2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views: www.expertsexchange.com.
3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island: www.penisland.net.
4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder: www.therapistfinder.com.
5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company: www.powergenitalia.com.
6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales: www.molestationnursery.com.
7. If you’re looking for computer software: www.ipanywhere.com.
8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church: www.cummingfirst.com.
9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers: www.speedofart.com.
10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? www.gotahoe.com

(This one was sent to our inbox my our friend Matt, and we would like to thank him for this bit of silliness. Nope, we don’t write ‘em we just post ‘em for you to enjoy.)
The Consultant
Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the edge of a deserted road. Suddenly a brand new Jeep Cherokee screeched to a halt next to him. The driver was a young man dressed in an Armani suit, Celine shoes and a Hermes tie. He gets out of the Jeep and asks the shepherd, “If I guess how many sheep you have will you give one of them to me?”
The shepherd thinks about it and finally says, “OK.”
The young man parks the car:
* connects his notebook, and mobile,
* enters a NASA site,
* scans the ground using his GPS
* opens a data base and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms
* prints a 150 page report on his high tech mini printer.
He then turns to the shepherd and says, “You have exactly 1,586 sheep.”
The shepherd answers, “That is correct. You can have your sheep.”
The young man takes one and puts it in the back of the Jeep. The shepherd looks at him and says, “If I guess your profession, will you return the sheep to me.?”
The young man answers, “Yes why not!”
The shepherd says, “You are an IBM consultant.”
“How did you know that ?” the young man asks.
“Very simple.” answers the shepherd. “First you come here without being called. Second you charge me to tell me something I know already. Third, you do not understand anything about what I do because you took my dog!!”
Mac Ads
| Posted in Commercials, Computers, International, Video

If you are like those of us in the [tag]Silliness Lair[/tag], you have been seriously amused by the American [tag]Mac Ads[/tag]. But, did you know that there are different advertisements made for many other countries? Try the UK Mac Ads (the one called “Court” is hilarious), the Japanese Mac Ads, and the French Mac Ads (American actors, dubbed in French). (a hat tip to Ray for pointing these out to us.)
